Banana Honey Blueberry Smoothie With Added Fibre

bananapan_cake's Note:

This smoothie is full of goodness....no; greatness! It has the super high anti-oxidant value of blueberries, the sweetness of honey, added fibre of Benefibe and the classic flavour of bananas. Great for a morning snack, or anytime when you need that little something to keep you going between meals. I came up with this particular combination of ingredients while looking through the fruit bowl and the fridge for a snack, threw it together and it turned out beautifully! I'm sure it's been thought of before...this is my own recipe thought up at the spur of the moment in my kitchen.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 1

Yield: 1.0 tall gl ...

• 1 banana (large)
• 60 g blueberries (half punnet approx)
• ½ tablespoon creamed honey (raw if you can get it)
• 1 cup low-fat milk (try high calcium kind)

Directions:

1. Add broken up banana, blueberries and cup of milk to your mixer/blender.
2. Blend very well, the mixture will go a nice lavendar colour. Add some Benefibe or your choice of fibre powder, and honey; the honey I used was "raw" or unprocessed honey straight from a local apiarist/bee keeper, and is not runny like shop bought liquid honey and has a nicer, less syrupy flavour, almost creamy in nature. Blend again very well, ensuring the honey has fully dispersed through the mix.
3. As there is banana involved, the smoothie will start going slighty darker, or brownish if not consumed right away, so is best if you only make what you are going to drink immediately, or it wont look as appetising later.
4. I shared some with my little boy, what better way to get some fibre into your kids?

Very simple--lovely lavender color! I agree that none of the flavors are overpowering; rather, they complement each other nicely. I used soy milk and regular honey--both worked well. Thanks for posting this.

Delicious smoothie!! I like that it's not too blueberry and not too banana-y. It is creamy and it has hints of both fruits. I always use raw honey, I think it tastes much better than processed honey and it adds a thickness to foods and glazes especially smoothies!! I threw in some wheat germ as my added fiber. Great Christmas Eve lunch before the big feasts!! Thanks, will make again!!!
